1982 Westport Pacific Shadow II
Designed by Ed Monk, stoutly built by Westport Yachts, and available from Worth Avenue Yachts, this classic stunner is beautifully equipped for extended cruising.
Known as Pacific Shadow II, this sophisticated 1982 classic was built by Westport Yachts and extensively refitted over the many years it served as a Pacific Northwest charter. Designed by the legendary Ed Monk, the luxury motoryacht is fully equipped with stabilizers for long cruises as far as Alaska, with five luxurious staterooms and ample room for entertaining up to 12 guests. Grand double doors provide an elegant entry to the salon, which is paneled in Hawaiian Koa wood and has a large bar that can serve up to five liquors on tap. For relaxing, the salon has a love seat, coffee table, electric fireplace, and two couches from which a 43” Panasonic HD television can be enjoyed, along with Sirius radio and a Bose surround sound system. Full gourmet meals can be prepared in the spacious galley, equipped with a double stainless-steel sink, Black Beauty granite countertops, and an island with a Kitchen Aid four-burner stove top and oven. Other galley appliances include a SubZero refrigerator, a Frigidaire top-loading freezer, a Sharp convection microwave, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Kitchen Aid trash compactor. The pilothouse is replete with teak paneling and includes a cushioned settee aft of the helm. In 2014, the helm was fitted with Nobeltec Navigation, Furuno FR-2115BB 72-mile radar with ARPA and monitor, and four 17” screens. Other recent upgrades to the helm include a Raymarine 48-inch Open Array Super HD digital radar system, an Intellian satellite system, 15.4-inch glass MFD touchscreen displays, and multiple i70 Multifunction color displays. Pacific Shadow II is powered by twin Detroit Diesel 12V71TI engines, with 2,620 original hours of use, plus stern and bow thrusters. The large flybridge has a notable design history. Originally built as a helipad for a light helicopter, the aft deck was later converted with a hot tub, but now features a roomy lounge, a fully equipped bar, a BBQ, a pop-up TV, and U-shaped dinette, all covered with a new bimini top. Decks all feature synthetic teak, with the side decks all around the perimeter, and two L-shaped navy seating areas with varnished pedestal tables. The foredeck has upholstered bench seating, while aft-deck seating is protected on all sides with a Strataglass enclosure. The aft deck also holds a 13-foot, center-console tender with a new Nick Jackson davit. Down a circular stairway is the master stateroom, which boasts a Brazilian rosewood desk, an Italian swivel desk chair, and a California king-size berth. The master head includes a double sink, a double marble shower, and a steam room. The VIP stateroom has an en suite head, while the two oak-paneled guest staterooms feature three single bunks and shared access to a guest head with a shower.

AFTER 15 MONTHS OF RESTORATION WORK, VIRGINIA V IS READY TO TAKE COMMAND OF HER FUTURE.

STEAM AHEAD
On the cusp of her centennial,SS VirginiaV emerges from an extensive restoration effort that has lovingly preserved the heart and soul of this Northwest icon, all while By Kate equipping her to make Calamusa way towards the future. Photos by Thor & Carrie Radford
Passenger ferry. Cargo conveyer. Mail carrier. Military transport. Events venue. Excursion vessel. National Historic Landmark. Puget Sound lodestar.
This vast and varied resume belongs to one vessel and one vessel alone: The SS Virginia V. The last remaining steamship from the historic “Mosquito Fleet” of ferries that once traversed the Puget Sound and still a frequent sight on Northwest waters, the beloved wooden ship has spent more than a year out of those waters at Pacific Fisherman Shipyard in Ballard. There, she has undergone restorations that have prepared her for the next role—that of a centenarian as she marks the 100th anniversary of her June 11, 1922 maiden voyage next month.
WHILE PLANKING WORK WAS UNDERWAY, THE VIRGINIA V FOUNDATION ALSO WORKED TO PRESERVE AND POLISH UP THE VESSEL’S MANY HISTORIC DETAILS.
THE SHIPWRIGHTS AT PACIFIC FISHERMEN SHIPYARD REMOVED AND REPLACED A TOTAL OF 96 PLANKS ON THE HULL.
“She’s tenacious,” states Ed Brown, senior docent at the Virginia V Foundation and the resident ship historian. “She’s been seized by the Federal Marshals twice. She’s been sold at auction. It’s been constant work to find her a job. The ship has had so many owners and careers that really, it’s a miracle that she’s made it all the way here to us today.” But made it she has, thanks to a herculean effort by a consortium of local shipyards, expert boatwrights, and the passionate crew behind her caretaking foundation. This most recent work is certainly not her first—that was way back in 1934. The steamship was damaged in a wind storm while attempting to dock in Olalla, Washington, and the upper decks were nearly destroyed. The decision to even bother fixing her after the incident was monumental, explains foundation board secretary Doug Weeks, who has been involved with the foundation for over two and a half decades and even met his wife on board. “These boats weren’t really built to last traditionally, maybe 25 years. When they would get old and out of shape, they used to just run them up on the beach and burn them.” Brown concurs; “I think we are eternally lucky that they decided to rebuild it in ‘34. That rebuild then set the stage for the many rebuilds that followed.” In the more modern age, beginning in 1995, the Foundation undertook a six-year, $6.5 million
stem-to-stern restoration; that project included rebuilding the original steam engine, building a new boiler, and reconstruction of the ship’s superstructure. When Virginia V was hauled out for this particular project in February of 2021, the original plan was to work on an area of fungus-related rot in the port bow area of the ship. But once it was out of the water, it was discovered that the rot was more widespread than initially thought and significant portions of the ship’s framing and planking would need to be replaced. Thus began an almost 15-month-long journey. On the business end, King County, The M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, 4Culture, The Norcliffe Foundation, The Goodfellow Fund, The Beardsley Family Foundation, and many individuals all responded to the call for help with donations. The Foundation also received federal funds from the National Maritime Heritage grant program, which is administered by the National Park Service. (There will still be a sizeable gap between funds raised to date and the total cost of the restoration work; donations are welcome via the Foundation’s website.) On the technical side, the shipwrights at Pacific Fishermen Shipyard immediately went to work removing and replacing fungus-infected frames, knee, stem, and planking, a process that can only be described as a labor of love.
First, the “new” planks installed by PacFish are anything but new. All milled from old-growth Douglas fir to match the historic wood elsewhere on the ship, they were sourced from small mills throughout the region, from Oregon to the Olympic Peninsula. All told, 57 planks were replaced on the starboard side and 39 on the port side of the ship. The planks, which measure up 40 feet long, were each individually prepared to exacting measurements in the shipyard’s wood shop, then steamed for two hours to soften the wood. When ready, the shipwrights removed the plank and quickly set it in place with metal braces so it could bend into the curved shape of the hull. After the planks were fastened to the ship, other experts applied their old-world skills to “corking” the seams to seal the space between the planks to make her hull watertight. This process involves hand preparing the “oakum” (hemp fiber) into thin strands which are then pounded into the spaces between the planks. A layer of cement is later applied in the seams. “It’s all very organic and frankly, awe-inspiring,” says Weeks of the Virginia V Foundation, describing the wood details of the ship. “She’s not plastic, not metal, she’s crafted from the earth.” Foundation members and volunteers also pitched in on a bevy of necessary maintenance-related tasks and other projects while Virginia V was in dry dock to help keep her plying the waters in the years to come— an example of just how many care, and care deeply, for the historic steamship and her fate. Docent Brown describes Virginia V as their second home. “This is where I found my calling in life,” Brown says. “I love helping people learn history when they come aboard.” And to hear Weeks describe the antique

steam engine is the stuff of poetry: “Her heart is the engine, and when you look into that boiler, it’s like seeing her heart beat. The rods are exposed, you can see all the inner workings in a way you never could in a modern boat engine. You feel it, you hear it, that steam engine gives you a sense of a living, breathing thing.” The final “whiskey plank” was installed on the port bow of the ship on March 28, a milestone well worth marking with a traditional celebratory toast after over a year’s worth of restoration work. During the remaining spring months, the shipyard team is continuing the process of corking the seams, painting the hull, and replacing underwater through-hull fittings. Finally, tests and inspections required by the Coast Guard will be conducted and then the engineering crew will ready the ship for operation. The Foundation plans to have her sailing again come summer, the all-volunteer crew welcoming visitors back dockside and on board via several sailings and celebratory events. Mark the calendar for July 15th when Virginia V is set to steam from Seattle to Tacoma, passing by Vashon Island in a re-creation of one her West Pass ferry routes back in the day. That July cruise is sure to be a full circle moment for the devotees who have steered her through the past two years. “If we were to lose the boat, we’d lose her connection to all that local history and the knowledge she contains in her stories,” says Weeks. “It’s why she’s so important to preserve, that tie to the past is so incredibly valuable.” And Foundation Executive Director Debra Alderman thinks that, with a little luck and a lot of effort, Virginia V may just continue to inspire and delight people for yet another hundred years. “We are just caretakers,” she concludes. “We are proud to contribute what we can to her legacy during our era and then pass her on to the next generation.”

1. Sip on a Summery New Cocktail (or Mocktail!) at Palisades Restaurant Tucked next to Elliott Bay Marina in Seattle, posh Palisades Restaurant and downstairs neighbor Landry’s Kitchen have long been popular haunts for sailors after a day out on the water. But bellying up to the bar just got all the more satisfying thanks to the newly refreshed cocktail and mocktail menu crafted in partnership with legendary Northwest chef Kathy Casey. Current options include an exotic twist on a classic Mojito with passionfruit and mango purée, a spicy prickly pear margarita, and for those cleaning days spent readying the ship, enjoy the “Blood, Sweat, Tears” made with gin, orange liqueur, sweet vermouth, crème de cacao, and orange bitters. New drinks will be released as the season goes on, so we’ll definitely be stopping by on the regular. Cheers! More info: palisaderestaurant.com 2. Play I Spy the Exotic Wildlife at Spieden Island It’s little secret that the San Juan Islands are a Northwest boater’s playground, but no matter how many times we visit, we’re still captured by the mysterious allure and elusive creatures of Spieden Island. This three-and-a-half mile wide isle located just north of San Juan Island was once an exotic game reserve as two taxidermist brothers purchased the island in the late 1960s and imported such animals as lions, giraffes, and tigers for the wealthy to then hunt. (John Wayne was reported to be one such hunter.) Safety concerns amongst the locals over errant bullets, plus legislation brought about after a Walter Cronkite expose, brought an end to the endeavor. However, today a variety of unusual animals still call it home, such as the Mouflon sheep from Corsica, Fallow deer from Europe, and Sika deer from Asia that can sometimes be spotted grazing on its grassy slopes. The island is still privately owned, so there’s no going ashore, but pack the binoculars, put the engine in neutral, and float on by to see what you spy. In addition to the ungulates, you’ll also often find bald eagles, harbor seals, and other local wildlife nearby. More info: rocheharbor.com/ spieden-island-deer/

OH, CANADA: ENJOY A PICTURESQUE MARINA AND STELLAR ALFRESCO DINING AT #4, DENT ISLAND LODGE.
3. Grab Some Grub to Go or Dig in Dockside at Bowriders Grill on Lake Union It doesn’t get much better than docking and dining, and here in the Northwest, we boaters have no shortage of stellar options from Ivar’s Salmon House and Duke’s Seafood to chef Renee Erickson’s Westward and our new favorite haunt: Bowriders Grill on Northlake. Since opening late last summer, this hidden gem on Lake Union has catered very nicely to boaters with an easy, online ordering system and dockside service from the friendly staffers who hand deliver your order straight to the bow. The appealing menu leans heavily on fresh seafood like the seared salmon tacos with pineapple slaw and red chile crema, plus juicy burgers and top-notch wraps (the roasted button mushroom option with pickled peppers is not to be missed). And for those days you’d prefer to while away the afternoon on land, Bowriders also boasts an expansive patio replete with vintage boat-inspired seating and a cozy fire pit. More info: bowridersgrill.com 4. Get Back to British Columbia by Mooring at Dent Island Lodge Now that many of the Covid travel restrictions have been lifted, it’s time to get back to visiting our friendly neighbors to the north, and we can think of no finer destination than Dent Island, a remote and utterly breathtaking spot located 120 miles north of Vancouver. Traveling to the picturesque Dent Island Lodge & Marina is, of course, is half the fun, but once you reach this luxurious spot, you may never want to leave. The well-equipped marina, complete with a sauna, hot tub, and coffee station for moorage guests, is just a few steps away from world-class dining. The Yaculta Dining Room focuses on seasonal, farm-totable fare, while the outdoor Rapids Grill provides an intimate, and unforgettable waterside experience over chef-selected small plates. You can while away your time on the aft deck, or the friendly staff is also always happy to set up jet boat and helicopter tours or hook you up with a local guide for some salmon fishing. More info: dentisland.com
5. Take a Farm Tour at Westcott Bay Shellfish This family-run shellfish farm nestled in a beautiful bay in Friday Harbor, cultivates its amazing oysters, clams, and mussels from “seed to shuck,” and recently began offering exclusive tours to give its fans a chance to take a behind the scenes look at the farm’s inner workings. Count us in a repeat visit here soon: Guests meet at the farm before opening hours to learn about Westcott Bay’s history and how the briny bivalves are grown, plus receive a personalized shucking lesson and tasting. Guests also have the option to stay for lunch at The Tide Tables restaurant, a coveted reservation in its own right; be sure to book your tour ahead on their website. More info: wescottbayshellfish.com 6. Visit the Bellingham Dockside Market for a Fresh Catch Setting up shop every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month in Squalicum Harbor, this pop-up market offers up just about the freshest seafood you can sleuth out. Many of the area fishing families gather here to dish out the day’s catches, sometimes even straight from their holds, and with everything from salmon and squid to cod and crab, you’ll find all the ingredients you need to cook up a seasonally inspired supper onboard in no time. (We say snap up a pound of fresh spot prawns to whip up this month’s Sea Fare recipe; see pages 78-79!) In addition to fresh options, you’ll also find pantry provisions like canned smoked salmon and a rotating array of frozen and hot items; Island Girl’s chowders and

7. Enjoy a Peaceful Respite on Blake Island Last year, Argosy Tours announced it would no longer be offering its popular boat tours to Blake Island. While this was regrettable news for the larger population, it has made the oasis located just 4 miles from Seattle in between Vashon and Bainbridge an even more restful and remote stop, as the only way to access it now is by private vessel or by the power of your own kayak paddle. No cars, no roads, no buildings outside of the lone ranger station, Blake instead offers up 472 acres of pristine nature that includes 5 miles of beach shoreline and 655 acres of saltwater bedland. Explore the many trails, watch the seabirds fly by, dig for clams on the driftwood-scattered beach, or simply set up a lounge chair to take in the views of the city and Mt. Rainier. The island is all yours. More info: parks.wa.gov/476/Blake-Island
8. Walk Through a Wave of Lavender at Pelindaba Lavender on San Juan Island This San Juan Island favorite is at “peak purpleness” during the months of July and August; also, do not miss out on the homemade lavender ice cream during your visit. More info: pelindabalavender.com
9. Take a Kenmore Airplane Seaplane Tour or Trip In addition to the popular, can’t-miss tours of the Seattle area and flights to such popular destinations as the San Juans and Victoria, B.C., Kenmore Air recently announced service to Tofino, a Canadian hamlet resting just 1,200 miles from the Arctic Circle that is also home to the famed waterfront Wickaninnish Inn.

11. Have a Beach BBQ on Shaw Island Pack the cooler before disembarking on this isolated isle— outside of the sweet little general store, there’s little civilization to be found. (And we mean that in the best possible way.) More info: sanjuanco.com/523/Shaw-Island
12. Slurp Oysters at Taylor Shellfish Samish Bay Oyster Bar With tide to table dining at one of the most stunning settings around, Taylor Shellfish’s Samish Bay outpost is worth returning to time and again. More info: taylorshellfishfarms.com
